This
CD
features
the
original
cast
recording
of
two
London
hit
shows
from
1954,
both
with
a
Parisian
theme
-
Wedding
in
Paris,
the
come-back
vehicle
for
Evelyn
Laye
-
first
lady
of
the
West
End;
and
Can-Can,
an
American
import
by
Cole
Porter.
Although
successful,
Wedding
in
Paris
has
never
been
revived
in
London
or
played
on
Broadway
so
this
only
recording
and
first
time
on
CD
is
a
welcome
for
all
show
fans.
Co-starring
film
star
Anton
Walbrook,
who
joined
the
show
from
another
West
End
success
Call
Me
Madam,
and
supported
by
the
pair
of
young
lovers
Jeff
Warren
and
Susan
Swinford,
Wedding
in
Paris
has
an
infectious
score
but
the
star
of
the
show
is
undeniably
Evelyn
Laye
whose
two
solo
numbers
“A
Man
Is
A
Man”
and
“In
The
Pink”
are
wonderful.
Can-Can
starred
French
import
Irene
Hilda
and
Edmund
Hockridge,
the
Canadian
born
leading
man
of
West
End
musicals
of
the
1950s
and
still
going
strong.
50
years
later,
show-stoppers
such
as
“C’est
Magnifique”,
“I
Love
Paris”,
“I
Am
In
Love”,
“Allez-Vous
En,
Go
Away”,
“It’s
All
Right
With
Me”
still
sparkle,
a
testament
to
the
genius
of
Cole
Porter.
Bonus
tracks
include
Anton
Walbrook’s
“La
Ronde
De
L’Amour”
and
Edmund
Hockridge
singing
songs
from
Carousel,
a
show
he
starred
in
the
West
End.
All
tracks
have
been
re-mastered
using
the
CEDAR
system
and
the
16
page
booklet
includes
notes
by
Edmund
Hockridge
and
production
photos.
